My story? It was a wintry Sunday in February of 2006. My wife and I were window shopping on the car lots for no good reason when I stumbled upon a used 2005 - I had no idea what I would get myself into.

After months of having to slow down every time we past by that dealer, my wife turned to me and said, ''Why don't you take it for a test drive? You may not even like it.'' Fortunately for her, after a test drive, the typical wheel and deal ensued, I simply walked away – after all, this was a want, not a need, and the price was just not right. Days later the dealer called back with a deal I could not refuse, fortunate for me.

After leaving the dealer, I got my very first compliment while stopping for gas on the way home. At this point, I realized this might have something a little more special than your average coupe and decided to put forth a deserving effort. Now of course, we all want the classic 60's 'Stang - I figured if I couldn't have that, this would be my version of the next best thing.
